San Nicolo, Cagli
San Nicolò is a Roman Catholic, Franciscan church in Cagli, province of Pesaro e Urbino, region of Marche, Italy. History The Benedictine order church and monastery date to 1388 when the nuns of Santa Margherita, who until then had occupied the old monastery along the Via Flaminia near Campo Ventoso relocated to San Nicolo. In 1529, the monastery was assigned to cloistered Dominican Order, Dominican nuns. In 1700 a large part of the convent was restored with the construction of small cells, and a new refectory. Following the suppression of religious orders and congregations implemented with royal decree 3036 of 7 July 1866, around 1880 the monastery was alienated in order to erect a girls' school. The portal of the church, in sandstone, has a dog with a candle in its mouth in bas-relief in the tympanum, a play on the phrase ''Domini canes'', or ("Hounds of the Lord").

It stands in front of a homonymous piazza, and is adjacent to the Palazzo Meschini and Palazzo Brunelli-Bonetti.
